Yes, true, but how will you know that if you don't date and see if they might be a potential long term partner? All the attractive picture and common interests do is establish a basis for setting up a date. It doesn't mean that things are going to work out great just because you both like acoustic guitar groups...
I've seen this movie about giant crystals threatening the world. It was actually pretty good, so I'm off to make some popcorn and wait for those things to burst out of the ground.
They may very well be dishonest, self-serving and manipulative, but are the complaints valid? Do the complaints about pay and working conditions stand on their own? If they do then Tesla needs to address those.
Has Tesla ever produced an analysis of their pay and benefits versus those of a unionized shop? Showing that there are advantages to working without unions sounds like a better response than assigning morality to what are essentially monetary transactions.
I can see you have a hard time ascertaining what is and is not reality. Trump was never a member of the Democratic National Committee. He registered as a Republican in 2009 and started his "birtherism" bullshit in 2011 when he considered running for President (as a Republican) in 2012.
In the brave new world of Big Data, users are not customers. Users are raw products to be quantified, classified and sold to advertisers and marketers. What users want is not important - it's the ones that actually pay Microsoft that matter.
As far as I'm concerned they're all greedy self-serving bastards with no regards for anything except how much of someone else's money they get to swindle and take home today.
The Slahsdot Editors have announced that they are now looking for a new Financial News Correspondent.
Interestingly, a copy of the Encyclopedia Britanica's web page on Financial Services Companies from the year 2347 that, due to a temporal disturbance caused by the LHC, appeared on the screen of a Mrs. Trumble of Avon-by-the-Sea described those companies as "...all greedy self-serving bastards with no regards for anything except how much of someone else's money they get to swindle and take home today.
Amendment, not Article. There is no Article 22 (not even an article 12 - the Constitution contains only seven articles). Amendment 22 sets a limit of two terms for the President. Amendment 12 specifies how the Electoral College works in selecting the President and Vice President and was added in reaction to the election of 1800 and was ratified in 1804, well after the original had been written.
After graduating third in his class at West Point in 1951 with a degree in science, Buzz Aldrin flew 66 combat missions as an Air Force pilot in the Korean War. Then he earned a PhD at MIT. Aldrin joined NASA as an astronaut in 1963. In 1966 he flew in the Gemini 12 spacecraft on the final Gemini mission.
Aldrin accompanied Neil Armstrong on the first moon landing in the Apollo 11 mission, becoming the second person, and now the first of the living astronauts, to set foot on the moon. Aldrin had taken a home Communion kit with him, and took Communion on the lunar surface, but did not broadcast the fact. Aldrin retired from NASA in 1971 and from the Air Force in 1972. He later suffered from clinical depression and wrote about the experience, but recovered with treatment. Aldrin has co-authored five books about his experiences and the space program, plus two novels.
The above from mentalfloss. When you do that AND are one of only twelve people to have walked on another world then you can talk about who is "semi-famous".
I just had this image of Buzz sitting next to the other tourists, looking around and saying, for the umpteenth time, "Well, yeah, this is interesting, but I was on the Moon. The freaking MOON! Yeah, it's cold here, but on the Moon you couldn't even breathe!" and all of the other tourists rolling their eyes.
It's very telling of the American popular mindset that not a single mainstream movie out of Hollywood has ever shown a non-American space program accomplishing anything of any importance in their science fiction (or even their documentaries, for that matter). In the rare cases where non-Americans are even shown, they're usually just used as some sort of comic relief (the laughable Russian stereotype cosmonaut in Armageddon being one of the most offensive examples).
How about the 1969 movie Marooned, where a soviet spacecraft comes to the aid of a stranded US capsule?
Funny, when I vote they check my ID, then check the list of registered voters to see if I am on the roll and the address matches. They even record what voter I am at that polling station (this year I was number 68). So they know that I am registered and that I voted and even roughly when I voted, based on my number. That information is what both parties use to get out the vote and contact registered voters that have actually gone to the polls.
It is a secret ballot only in terms of who I voted for, not if I voted. Your lack of knowledge of how this process works shows me just how much you have voted in your life.
Funny, it doesn't say states. You infer that, but that is your mistake.
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
Notice the states are not listed. States are arbitrary entities with no inherent rights. It is the People, the only ones with rights, that create states, that form more perfect unions in order to secure the blessings of liberty to themselves and their posterity. States cannot exist absent the people. Indeed, quite a few states of the union are mere arbitrary constructs created by the federal government. Montana, Kansas, Oregon, Maine - these did not even exist at the creation of the federal government, but were created by the apparatus that the people created to govern themselves.
The President is indeed the representative of ALL of the People of the United States. He is not the spokesman for a collection of states, but the chosen representative of all the people that make up those states.
The People... what part do you not understand? You are playing at semantics, using the name of a country to define how it came to be. It was not the states that created the United States of America, it was the people of those states.
I have, many times over actually. I've also read the Declaration of Independence, the Gettysburg Address, the Mayflower Compact and the Magna Carta multiple times since the sixth grade. The VFW gave out booklets at my school with all of those documents in it so we young students could familiarize ourselves with them. Although in all that time I've never managed to find Article 12 of the Constitution - apparently, that's only in the version that reality TV stars read.
They get no kudos for only now fixing long-ago discovered flaws in the software they ship
I agree that patching a twelve year old bug now is not laudable, but in comparison to other manufacturers this is an example of what should be done and is something to be acknowledged as a step in the right direction.
H-1B Visas are meant to cover skills not readily available in this country. I would argue that if the current workers are training their replacements, then the skill set is readily available in this country. To quote Wiki :
The regulations define a "specialty occupation" as requiring theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge in a field of human endeavor[1] including but not limited to biotechnology, chemistry, architecture, engineering, mathematics, physical sciences, social sciences, medicine and health, education, law, accounting, business specialties, theology, and the arts, and requiring the attainment of a bachelor's degree or its equivalent as a minimum[2] (with the exception of fashion models, who must be "of distinguished merit and ability").[3] Likewise, the foreign worker must possess at least a bachelor's degree or its equivalent and state licensure, if required to practice in that field.
Tell the university that you simply don't have the skill set required to train your replacement...
In a word, yes. But not multiple routers, just something capable of segmenting traffic securely (or as securely as you can hope for...)
The precautions that you have used for years in a corporate network apply to a home network. You have computers or tablets that need access to your bank, your utility companies, your email and your family photos and then you have other devices that just need access to the internet. In other words, you need a protected network and a DMZ.
I run pfSense at home and have a VLAN for my sensitive workstations and another for those things that just need to access the internet. If I can, I even lock down the cameras and thermostat to the web site they need to get to. Using something like pfSense also lets me monitor where those devices are going to.
But the more about the ancients we discover, the less primitive the people seem
The older I get, the more I learn about the other people sharing this planet and those that preceded us, the more I believe that we are all the same, for the most part. We all have the same basic wants and needs, the same basic drives. What separates me from a Roman living under Augustus or an Egyptian living in the time of Ramses is more a matter of the trappings of technology than the core of our beings.
As a kid I was always struck by this quote from Khan in the Star trek episode Space Seed
Nothing ever changes, except man. Your technical accomplishments? Improve a mechanical device and you may double productivity, but improve man and you gain a thousandfold. I am such a man.
There's no Khans running around yet. So we are pretty much as we have always been, except for some immunity to some diseases that our ancestors paid for.

That's it, I'm heading down to the local planning office at Alpha Centauri and lodging a stern complaint about this new hyperspace bypass.
This just in! Liberals can't handle losing. News at 11
Our country is now in serious and unprecedented trouble like never before.
This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!
More votes equals a loss revolution!
Lets fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is laughing at us.
We can’t let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!
The phoney electoral college made a laughing stock out of our nation. The loser one!
He lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election. We should have a revolution in this country!
- Donald Trump, 2012, when he thought Obama had lost the popular vote but won the electoral college

Sixteen years later, actually. The Constitution was signed in September of 1788. Thirty-eight delegates signed it and it was finally ratified in 1789.

Are you suggesting they should use... HOST FILES?
